Preparation: 🌟
- Begin by preparing your workspace. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cheese Cutting: 🧀
- Take your Monterey Jack cheese and cut it into either triangles or circles, aiming for slices that are approximately 1/8″ thick. This adds a playful touch to your bites.
-
Arrangement: 🎨
- Lay out the cheese pieces evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure some space between each piece for even baking.
-
Spice it Up: 🔥
- Sprinkle a light to medium amount of cayenne pepper on each cheese slice. This not only adds a kick but also complements the richness of the Monterey Jack.
-
Baking Magic: 🌈
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 7 minutes. Keep a close eye on them; the goal is to achieve a holey texture with a light browning around the edges.
-
Golden Perfection: ✨
- Once the cheese is holey and has that delightful light brown hue, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
-
Cooling Grace: ❄️
- Allow the Cheese Bites to cool on a paper towel. This step is crucial to ensure they achieve the right crispiness and texture.
